ANP

OT Cyber Incident Readiness and Response

We design and exercise incident response before a crisis so containment, evidence preservation, and restoration follow clear safety and authority

Service scope

  • Role, notification threshold, escalation, and crisis-communication design
  • Playbooks for ransomware, intrusion, OT disruption, and data loss
  • Tabletop exercises, lessons learned, and plan improvement

Practical deliverables

  • Incident-response plan and controlled contact roster
  • Scenario playbooks and evidence-capture forms
  • Exercise report with gaps, decisions, and corrective actions

Safe containment before fast action

In an OT incident, shutting down or isolating equipment can disrupt safety or production. Playbooks should predefine decision authority, emergency contacts, process state, evidence preservation, and phased containment options.

A joint tabletop involving operations, engineering, safety, IT, security, and crisis leadership exposes communication and decision gaps before a real incident. Lessons learned should become owned actions with due dates and retesting.
